Short Story For You
when sakura is dewy


" Let's teru teru bozu, don't let it rain !" Said a girl facing an octopus-shaped doll she hung on the window.


But it looks like the magic of the doll is exhausted, the proof is that the sky is getting cloudy and begins to look faint small drops of rain falling. The girl clucked, she was annoyed because again the rain prevented her from meeting her friends in the fields.


The girl propped up her chin, staring straight from the open window of her room towards the fully wet courtyard.


" If it rains tomorrow too, then I can't meet Daiki" the girl muttered.


The holiday period is only 3 days, 2 days will run out for the trip and prepare school equipment. It means tomorrow is his last day at his grandfather's house. It was hard to leave this small village and return to the city. There's still a lot of things he wants to see for now. He also wanted to talk longer with his friend - Daiki. he would give him a story about the village today, but the bad luck of the rain made his plans chaotic.


" Sakura ! Grandpa already burned the yam, come taste it "said the grandmother who shouted from the front porch.


Soon sakura moved and approached the elderly couple who were facing a plate of burnt yams that were still smoking.


" Your yam where's this cake from ? " Tanya sakura blew her part.


" Daiki sent it, his father harvested yesterday" replied grandfather.


" Daiki ? Why didn't Grandpa tell me he was here ?" Sakura said regretfully from earlier she was only in the room.


" He was also a moment, "this time Grandma answered.


It looks upset on Sakura's face. Why didn't Daiki meet him first. He had promised to tell the legend of this village.


" Grandfather where is daiki's house? " Tanya sakura demanded.


" You know that little alley near the fields ? " Ask grandpa.


Sakura nodded.  " Second house from the alley. It's Daiki's house" he continued.


Sakura understood, the important thing is her benchmark Padang and the second house. Sakura could find him.


" Cake I'm going to Daiki's house now !"


Sakura said, taking an umbrella.


" It's still raining !" Grandma said a little screamed.


" It's okay grandma, I'm leaving !" Sakura said, closing the door.


The rain never subsided even the sound of a trickle that hit the umbrella like a bullet. Sakura wears her boots not forgetting the thick hair she ties. Now it's time to fight the rain towards Daiki's house.


Sakura walked slowly avoiding the puddles filled with water, some frogs also jumped cheerfully to and fro. In a moment, let's fight sakura.


Finally, the second house is visible. Sakura could see the smoke from Daiki's house. He knocked on the door of the brown house.


A woman who was aged but still looking healthy opened the door, her face warmly opened on the sakura.


" Excuse me aunt, is this Daiki's house ? " Tanya sakura's.


" Right, you must be the grandson of Mr. Takahashi" said the aunt


Sakura nodded and displayed a clumsy smile. " Go in first, Daiki is still in the room" said the aunt preparing to enter.


Sakura sat on the wooden bench. The aunt had brought a tray with a cup of warm tea and chips.


" I'm sorry Miss Takahashi, aunt only has this to offer " said the aunt was not tasty.


" No aunt, I'm very troublesome. My name is Sakura Takahashi. Aunty can just call me sakura "sakura said introducing herself.


" Sakura are you here ? " Tanya Daiki walked towards him.


" Yes, Grandpa said you stopped by. Why don't you meet me "ask sakura.


" I'm sorry, I had to deliver yams to the other neighbors." Answer daiki.


Sakura just nodded in understanding, it seemed like Daiki was not special to the house because of her.


" Look at master Takahashi's granddaughter, she's like a beautiful miss rien" the aunt said.


Her husband agreed. " And our son is like a warrior ye" he continued.


Both of them were embarrassed by the compliment.


" Who are Miss Rien and swordsman ye ? " Tanya sakura's.


Sakura's face turned so enthusiastic, it seemed that the girl wanted to know the story.


" Tell me Daiki ! " Have a sakura.


" Alright, but don't blame me for being bored" Daiki reminded.


Sakura nodded enthusiastically.


" A long time ago, this village was the center of the government of Que kingdom. At that time a respected emperor had a concubine named wareki, he had a son whose name was rien. She is famous for being beautiful and smart to embroider, even though she only bears the title of princess down, miss Rien is always loved by the emperor.


One day, the commander of the war at the end of the kingdom again brings victory. The whole kingdom celebrated his return. And among his soldiers, there was 1 right hand of the commander named swordsman ye.


A festive party, lots of banquets and beautiful dancers. At that time princess Rien helped the servants deliver food. While bringing tea he met swordsman ye. Who knows, Princess Rien immediately fell in love with him, and vice versa. Swordsman ye thought miss rien was Que's royal lady. That was because she did not stand with the king on her throne, even though that was because Miss Rien was the lower daughter.


Every week they will meet on the road that leads to the beach. They called it the way of Yein. But now the road is better known as the third road. The myth is that people fall in love there.


But the emperor betrothed Miss Rien to your swordsman, she was also the greatest of the time. Miss Rien was not pleased and wanted swordsman ye as her husband. That is why the contest was held.


The two warriors must catch a bear that unsettles society. But who would have thought that swordsman ye was even killed by your swordsman's arrow.


Princess Rien is very sad to lose her lover. On the third street Miss Rien cried for a long time until Miss Rien died . Her tears and blood from warrior ye mixed to create a pink color. And as long as the blood and tears flowed grew a pink-flowered tree, now referred to as sakura" the end of the story


Sakura did not even blink. That's really a good story. It turns out that the color of sakura that symbolizes cheerfulness and freshness is the result of blood fading due to tears.


" That's the best story I've heard" said sakura.


" really ? Do you want to know where that yein road is ? " Tanya Daiki's.


" Does it really exist ? " Tanya sakura's.


" I'll take you there tomorrow morning" Daiki said.


" What if it rains tomorrow ?" Ask sakura.


" No, I've hung teru teru bozu properly" Daiki assured him


***


Sakura's last day in the village. Daiki already planned to take him to the 3rd street or the road to the sea. Sakura is really curious about where people fall in love.


" Are you ready ?" Ask Daiki.


The man brought a bicycle to get there. Sakura sat holding onto Daiki. They began to walk down the path towards the land.


About 15 trips were made by bicycle. Sakura was very astonished when she saw the tree on the left right of the road that seemed to form a hallway.


" Beautiful, right ?" Ask Daiki.


" Yes the dewy sakura is very fresh to see" replied sakura.


They were satisfied to look at the beautiful flowers. Until sakura remembered the story that Daiki had told her yesterday.


" Have you ever fallen in love here, Daiki ? " Tanya Sakura's.


Daiki smiled at him "I've fallen in love here" he replied.


" Where did you fall in love" asked sakura.


" In the field when you see a girl who is struggling to lift the hoe" Daiki said with an oddity.


Sakura blushed at that moment, but she did not want to slim down to think that Daiki meant her. She could be a girl from this village.


" Who is that girl ?" Ask sakura again.


" That grows because of Miss Rien's tears and the swordsman's blood" Daiki said.


"Sakura ! " Sakura said excited because he still memorized the story yesterday. Wait, sakura's her name, right ?


Daiki laughed again and patted sakura's head gently. " That's right you, I know you'll be back in town by noon. Come here when you have time. We will meet again on the 3rd street, this is where Miss Rien and warrior ye died, but here also their love becomes eternal. Let's make cherry blossoms a witness to our love."


Sakura nodded in excitement, clasping Daiki's hand outstretched at her. True also said the myth, the 3rd way is a place to fall in love, and it happens to sakura.


" I love you too Daiki "
